Rainier Scholars – Tacoma
We launched our new Tacoma program in June 2022 and are thrilled to offer in-person and virtual opportunities to experience Rainier Scholars – Tacoma.
In-Person Option
Community Dinner & Workshop
Tacoma’s in-person tours offer a glimpse into how we engage the whole family. Each month, scholars and families come together for a community dinner, then split up for workshops themed around areas of empowerment (parents/guardians) and what it takes to be successful (scholars).
